Anyone have a Head Youtek 6 star, 41/8 grip size tennis racket for sale? Have been looking everywhere, I know its a much older model racket but this year I started playing USTA competitive women's team tennis matches and am loving it but I only have one of this racket which I love, love, love.

"Definitely right Lana, kid needs someone other than parent to talk to him, agreed, especially if his behavior is not changing. However, as parents we are responsible for how our kids behave while they live under our guidance so telling his dad…"

"I think the kid needs someone to talk to him before he gets in trouble. And not with his parents, because if they were any good he would understand by now that throwing a racket randomly where people are can get his ass kicked by those…"

"Good insight Mark, thank you! I know the kid very well and my son's played him many times at Super Champ tourney and at the club just practice matches that we parents setup randomly. Got a reputation of hitting the racquet on the ground and…"

"Interesting question. To me, it depends what my relationship with the kids is. Am I there to watch them, do I know them, etc? If I don't know them at all, I think the men playing next to them have more responsibility than…"

What would you have done? What should you do? Give me your thoughts please!Two very high level tennis players Super Champs have been setup at the club to do match practice next to 4 gentlemen playing dbls.

One of them starts to hit their racket on the ground every time he is mad, you are embarrassed but you look the other way, its not your son. Then he throws the racket out of the…See More

Dear all,I have a serious request on what is the best type of racquet string for my 12 year old son using a Head Youtek Graphene Speed Pro tennis racquet?He is using what I had in my back up stash which is a Babolat Pro Hurricane at 55lb tension. At 5 ft, 91 lbs my son is on the smaller build than your average tennis player but he is playing in the Super Champs, so he is doing not too bad and loving the heck out of tournament experience:) He also uses less of an extreme western grip and is…See More

I love everything tennis. I coach every evening but love to play a match every now & then with some good 4.5 & above players to keep my skill up. Love the outdoors. Contact me, if you want a solid game of tennis for a good workout, will see if we can coordinate time & place. Preferable at my neighborhood courts, try to stay close to where I teach!

January 8th, 2011: this was the date, past weekend; my 9yr. old participated in his first 12 under ZAT tournament. Having played in the 10 under's all of last year he now has his sights set for qualifying points. It went well & he back with more fire in his belly. All's good so far.

I have to tell you, tennis has always brought me luck. When I had my son, he brought me more joy & more luck. Kid's keep you laughing & running, so does tennis. Both are a wonderful gifts that I cherish. Being married & having a kid is how the idea for a tennis business was born, www.tennisbuddys.com, thanks to the love & support of my husband & son.
